CHEERS BLUES!
Chardonnay is back, and I am glad about that. The stigma of the 90s of those big buttery over toasted
wines has finally gone, as winemakers again make great wines that express true chardonnay fruit and
balancing it with oak.
Chardonnay is thought to have originated in Frances Burgundy region where it became known as

before winemakers in Champagne began to grow the grape as well, using it as the dominant ingredient
VARIETIES VARIETIES
for their sparkling wines.
Chardonnay is Australias most widely planted grape variety, almost every region in Australia would
produce Chardonnay. Chardonnay is a variety that has the ability to truly reflect a regions terroir, you
can see this with the main Australian Chardonnay regions:
Warm inland regions like the Murray Darling, Riverland and Riverina regions produce the majority of
good quality, well priced Australian Chardonnay that show ripe, tropical and stone fruit characters.
These may often be multi regional blends labelled with the origin as South Eastern Australia.
Adelaide Hills
This cool region is highly suited to Chardonnay. The wines are elegant, finely structured, typically with
white peach and nectarine flavours.
Margaret River
Margaret River is Western Australias most well known Chardonnay region. The wines are full-flavoured,
rich and powerful, with the best examples having the ability to age for over a decade.

Victoria also produces some top end Chardonnay, particularly from the Yarra Valley, Mornington
Peninsula and Geelong regions. These regions produce a diverse range of Chardonnay from elegant,
cool climate styles with fantastic fruit definition through to big, bold, generous styles with an emphasis on
winemaking influences.

The Hunter, Tumbarumba, Orange, Mudgee and New England regions all produce great Chardonnay.
VARIETIES The Hunter styles tend to be a little fuller, while Tumbarumba produces tight, elegant stone fruit styles. The
cool, elevated climates of New England, and Orange produce lean wines with soft peach and melon
profiles, while Mudgee tend to be rich and full.
Chardonnay also allow winemakers to express their craftsmanship, the range of styles now being
produced is quite diverse and constantly being refined. So grab a few bottles, I am sure you will find a
new favourite wine.

Running through the school gates and down the road

to your favourite charcoal chicken spot is a childhood
memory almost all of us have kept. The smell of the coal
slowly cooking the chicken to pure perfection floods the
air as we rush to the glass to get a closer look at what
we were about to devour.
Its safe to say, charcoal chicken has, and always will
be a favourite amongst all Aussies, and for childhood
friends Nick Xenofos and Theo Georgoulopoulos it was
always a dream to carry on the legacy of their parents.
Nieos Grille is a modern take on the traditional
charcoal chicken shop we all grew up loving. Wanting
to offer both the conventional and contemporary style,
locals have the option of either the take-away section
for those on the go, or a dine-in restaurant for a cosier,
intimate dining experience.
Inspired by their Greek roots and heritage, you can
expect traditional charcoal chicken with a twist.
Providing the perfect combination of home cooking and
traditional Greek cuisine, Nieos Grille has acquired an innovative yet
modern concept.
The inspiration and forefront to their success is family. Homemade recipes
can be found throughout the menu, showcasing the raw talent of his
parents hard work over the years.
On any given day of the week, it is undeniably the place to be. Whether
its midday lunch hour, or 6pm family dinner, Nieos is always buzzing,
with people spilling out onto the streets.
Offering endless options of tasty flavoursome burgers, freshly made
salads, seasoned flat Greek style chicken, roasted potatoes, and steamed
vegetables; their take away selections will spoil you for choice!
Not to mention, their popular catering options perfect for those hosting
parties or get togethers at their houses, with a scrumptious
range of proteins, salads and extras to choose from.
Your tastebuds will be thanking you once you leave their
fully licensed dine-in restaurant after indulging in their fresh
linguini with prawns, or their famous Greek style pasta bake
with beef mince, penne, bchamel and cheese, formally
known as Pastitsio. Feeling thirsty? There is a selection of
beers, wines & spirits to choose from to fulfil your taste bud.
The dine in area can comfortably host upwards of 110
people with further seating in the take-away section proving
to be a popular choice for locals to host their functions at.
Oh wait, it doesnt stop there. the delicious dessert range
with a roasted coffee makes the perfect ending to one of
the best meals we had to date.
Its no surprise that Nieos Grille won The Local Business
Award for Most Outstanding Restaurant as well as Gold
Business of the Year in 2016. The support from the local
community reflects on the amazing staff, terrific customer
service and exceptional food it has to offer.

TAKES A SLICE OF PIZZA MARKET

Many would say that we should thank Instagram and its millions of
food bloggers for just how far the food industry in Australia has come in
recent years, especially Sydney. With many of us foodies jumping straight onto the platform to check out
trending restaurants, its obvious, the everyday Aussies pallete has changed immensely and the pizza industry has been thrown a curveball in the process.
Not wanting to be left behind, Supreme Gourmet Pizza Bar has taken up the challenge with their extensive range of gourmet pizzas, sides and added
gourmet menu items, including their signature gourmet ribs, oohh those ribs...
Like any self-respecting 3-year-old kid, founder, Theo Xenofos, grew up living and breathing in the world of hospitality in his parents chicken shops.
Constantly surrounded by hard work, dedication and a passion for great food, Theo knew these were the key ingredients to a prosperous future.
As the years passed on, Theo watched his parents endure the highs and lows of running the family business, it was evident that as successful as they
were, the hard work was taking a toll, they were exhausted and timeworn. Theo made it his lifes goal to create a business model that brought success,
had elements of hard work (you can never avoid that, never) but gave him a better work-life balance than what he witnessed growing up and believed
strongly that youve got to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
The first Supreme Gourmet Pizza Bar opened in
Earlwood in 2010, proving to be a popular choice
for locals. Fastforward 7 years and the Xenofos family
have created a franchise opportunities for Australians
alike looking for that same work/life balance. With
several franchise stores announced across Sydney,
Supreme Gourmet Pizza Bar is growing and their food
is being consumed by thousands of people daily.
Striving to serve only the best of the best, quality is a
promise they have always committed to. Pizzas are
freshly made using only the finest Australian produce,
and their succulent ribs are second to none. Creating
nothing less than perfection, made with love is a
motto they truly live by.
Family and community is at the forefront of Supreme
Pizza ethos and will always be the motivation behind
its accomplishments.
The writing is on the wall, Supreme Gourmet Pizza Bar
is going to take a large slice of the pizza industry (pun
intended) in Australia, its happening already!
